Abstract

A new psychotherapy called The Cortina Method (TCM) has been developed to treat PTSD in one session, offering relief to patients with persistent symptoms of PTSD. This therapy, based on memory reconsolidation, does not require patients to recall past traumas in detail, making it more accessible to those who find reciting traumatic experiences too painful. Testimonials from patients and therapists suggest that TCM has been effective in providing relief from anxiety and trauma-related symptoms, with a reported effectiveness rate of 90%. Further research is needed to compare TCM with other standard therapies and to assess long-term results. [Extracted from the article]
